Best New (ish) mainstream bands..

[J]

Thoughts?

Really impressed with -

Courteeners, Bombay Bicycle club, Mcabees and Mumford and sons.

Same sound as the new wave of these style of music, but very very good approach to lyrics / music and rythm..

Any others?

I'm really into Level 42 right now.

I reckon those 4 mop tops from Liverpool will do well.

Agree with you there. But I only really know one song from each band! When you end up listening to Metal all the time at home, don't really get much chance to listen to anything else! The songs I like from each are:

Courteeners - Over did it doll
Bombay Bicycle Club - Always Like This
Macabees - Like your dress
Mumford and Sons - Little Lion Man (Which I really enjoy listening to)

Must listen to XFM more when I have the chance!

Must listen to more early megadeth when I have the chance!

surely this is a better option!

if you like that you should like the rest on that list,

just chuck in a bit of napalm death too, just to keep it nice n real.

If you like Jason Mraz, try and find some of his acoustic sessions. I was in Italy two summers ago when he was touring Europe promoting 'I'm yours' and the beach I was on happened to be where Italian MTV were filming their equivalent of TRL. Mraz was a guest and, between advert breaks, he was doing live acoustic versions of Bob Marley tracks and he was absolutely amazing.

I also saw Lady Gaga perform who was nowhere near as weird as she is these days...

This man knows what he's talking about.

One of my younger friends introduced me to 'Little Man Tate' a little while ago and I was (amazingly) impressed by their vitality and humour. It takes a lot to get a dinosaur like me impressed with anything modern.

i saw mraz last year in brighton and was seriously underwhelmed, my expectations were too high after watching his official live dvds which are outstanding!

and rich, ive seen napalm too, ive got pretty good ears but live it was just a mess lol,
